As bsky has become my new aviation hangout site, I thought it was about time to introduce myself. I'm British born, grew up in NZ, but have lived in the US for 20 years. Trained as a pilot, but have been in tech for a long time. Expect lots of aviation content from me as I post about my travels.

Top tip for the power plugs in these old Delta A330 D1 cabins. Use an international converter plug on a UK plug setting, as they're not used that much and won't fall out like the US plugs.
